I attended the University of Notre Dame for undergrad and National-Louis University for grad school. I am a National Board Candidate for Licensure in English/Language Arts areas (10 exams for Board Certification). I used to work for the University of Notre Dame Admissions Office — I can help you customize your college applications! I teach all ages, all abilities - children, teen, adult, SpecialEd, ESL/ELL students, and have recently taught Research & Writing courses for the University of Phoenix. I am patient, kind, professional, courteous, and hard-working. I am a huge fan of cheesy jokes - my favorite one: "What did the father buffalo say to his son when he left to catch the school bus in the morning?" Answer: "Bison." Haha! My classroom was full of all kinds of cheesy jokes to share. ;)
